Product Overview
Gemini's twins give this little wooden box its theme, with enamelled detailing that makes it look finished on an open shelf. At 10 x 10 x 6cm it holds rings, earrings, a few tumbled stones or the odd ticket stub, and it takes up little more room on a dressing table than a coaster. Each box is handmade in India, so the enamel work varies slightly from piece to piece.
The lid shows the twins in gold line on an ivory enamel disc, ringed by small constellation drawings and set into a navy enamel ground flecked with gold. The lid is hinged and closes with a small metal clasp at the front.
The Story Behind the Design
Gemini's two brightest stars carry the names of the twins Castor and Pollux. In Greek myth Pollux shared his immortality with his brother so the pair would never be parted. Gemini runs from roughly 21 May to 20 June (the exact changeover shifts by a day in some years). It is a mutable air sign, symbolised by the Twins and traditionally ruled by Mercury.
